- Out of 199 police station areas in Jammu and Kashmir, only areas under 11 police stations are under limited restrictions.

However, in the wake of Muharram processions, curfew-like situations are re-imposed in several parts of Valley. This is because of the possible occurrence of violence due to huge congregations.

Officials said that there are no reasons as such to re-impose the restrictions, but it is believed that these are the preventive measures against possible violence as part of gatherings during Muharram processions.
